From St Stephen's churchyard, Lympne
The large building just visible on the far side of the bay is the power station at Dungeness.

Lovely, moody, evocative. But why do they call it a marsh? It looks like fields to me.

Thanks.
It's a low-lying area which used to be marsh but was then drained for agriculture. Back in the 18th century it was famous- or notorious- for smuggling.

One of my favorite childhood movies was
The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh
. Patrick McGoohan played the scarecrow.
I wish I could find the DVD of that movie.

That's a scary film- at least I found it scary when I was a kid.
It's based on a series of books by Russell Thorndike- which are similarly hard to get hold of.

James Herriot wrote about transporting Romney Marsh sheep to Russia in one of his books.

And why not.
I imagine the Romney Marsh sheep are a hardy breed.
